At the start of the second half Smith missed the chance to open his account for Soham when he rounded Sillitoe in the Aylesbury goal but fired into the side netting.
Shortly afterwards however, Rangers equalised with a slightly fortuitous effort.
Jimson cut inside two defenders and shot from distance, with the ball spinning awkwardly in front of Sillitoe after taking a deflection.
The goalkeeper consequently misjudged the bounce, and the ball squirmed over his body and about a foot over the line before he could claw it back.
Jimson almost clinched victory in the closing stages, but his shot - again deflected - this time clipped the bar.
